Managers' trading around stock repurchases

Article Abstract:

We analyze personal open market trades by managers around stock repurchases by tender offer. With the exception of Dutch auction offers, managers trade their firm's shares prior to repurchase announcements as though repurchases convey favorable inside information to outsiders. Prior to fixed price repurchases offers that do not follow takeover-related events, managers increase their buying and reduce their selling of their firm's shares. Prior to repurchases that follow takeover-related events, only a decrease in selling is found. No abnormal trading precedes Dutch auction repurchase events.

Trading volume and cross-autocorrelations in stock returns

Article Abstract:

Research presented concerns the role of trading volume in forecasting stock returns. Findings suggest high volume portfolios maintain greater returns than low volume portfolios, as low volume portfolios do not respond as quickly to information in market returns.
